Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women, accounting for more than 1 in 10 new cancer diagnoses each year. It is the second most common cause of death from cancer among women in the world. Breast cancer evolves silently, and most disease is discovered on routine screening.

But the first step to recovery is to talk to about it. Most women hide their pain & suffering as it’s still a taboo in our country. On Breast Cancer Awareness Month, MGM Cancer Institute organised a special event, Walk in Pink @ Namma Chennai on October 30, 2022. This Walkathon was an initiative to promote breast cancer awareness and highlight the need for the right treatment at the right time. Students from various colleges and MGM staffs took a walk to Anna Nagar Tower Park spreading the message. The event was graced by Thiru MK Mohan, MLA, Anna Nagar, Chennai and Ms. Revathi, Actress, Film Director & Social Worker. Breast cancer survivors also shared stories and highlighted the need of early diagnosis.
